Narishige's A-1 Muscle Fixing Apparatus facilitates insertion of a microelectrode into muscle or nerve fibers by gripping both ends of the muscle or nerve fiber and holding it under tension by stretching both ends mildly.
Normally, insertion of a microelectrode into muscle or nerve fiber is very difficult. Narishige's A-1 apparatus makes it easy by gripping both ends of the muscle or nerve fiber, stretching them and then holding the specimen under tension. Using the tweezers mounted on the ball joint, both ends of fibers of any length can be held, and moved in the Y-or Z-axis. Also attached is a stand, which allows vertical adjustment and on which the specimen is placed.

FAQ's
Q: What are the dimensions of the mounting bar on the M-3333? Is there a magnetic stand that can hold it effectively?
A: The mounting bar on the M-3333 is 12mm in diameter and about 25mm long. We offer magnetic stands that can accommodate a 12mm mounting bar, including the GJ-8.
However, it is generally inconvenient to directly mount the M-3333 directly to the GJ-8's upper cross-clamp, and restrict how you position the manipulator since it would be sitting directly over the magnetic base instead of out and away from it.
To remedy this issue we recommend the X-4 rotating X-block in conjunction with either the GJ-1 or preferably the GJ-8, which provides additional weight and stability.

Narishige's MDO-84 is a compact, add-on, fine one-axis micromanipulator.
The MDO-84 is the pencil type micromanipulator (MO-10), a hybrid of oil-hydraulic and stepping motor that offers precise control. Used in combination with a stereotaxic manipulator, the add-on tool allows remote-control with the distance traveled shown on the digital display, as well as variable speed and precision settings- which are impossible to be performed by a manual model. Two setting modes are available: entering speed directly or entering distance and time, in the range of 0.1um/s to 500um/s. The drive unit is small and lightweight so that it can be mounted easily on different manual manipulators.
* Distance between the control unit and motor unit can be extended from original 2.9m(9.5ft) in total to 7m(28.2ft) by MD-DCE-7 (sold separately). * Palm-sized compact controller MD-OH-1 (sold separately) is available.
* The control unit controls one drive unit only; cannot control two or more drive units.

Stereotaxic Instruments
Motor-drive Oil Hydraulic Fine Open-Type Micromanipulator System
MDO-974 is the motor-driven oil-hydraulic micromanipulator suitable for in-vivo experiments on middle-sized animals, mainly NHP primates. Based on the manual oil-hydraulic mechanism of MO-97, the hybrid model installed with stepping motor enables speed control as well as greater driving precision, which are impossible to be performed by manual model. As a merit of the hydraulic part that requires no electricity, the hydraulic-tubing line keeps some distance from the motor to the animal's head, so that the sound or noise from the motor is suppressed during the experiment. Operational setting for drive is easy to do, which is completed by entering speed directly, or entering distance and time. The range of drive speed is set as 0.1um/s to 500um/s. The speed can be changed on the way to the target, so you can make the electrode closer to the target with a faster speed, and then change it to slower speed as final small-step approach. The closed chamber is equipped with acrylic XY stage which control knobs drive 18mm on each axis.
* Distance between the control unit and motor unit can be extended from original 2.9m(9.5ft) in total to 7m(28.2ft) by MD-DCE-7 (sold separately). * Palm-sized compact controller MD-OH-1 (sold separately) is also available.

Motor-drive Oil Hydraulic Fine Open-Type Micromanipulator System
MDO-974A is a motor-driven oil-hydraulic micromanipulator suitable for in-vivo experiments on middle-sized animals, mainly NHP primates. Based on the manual oil-hydraulic mechanism of the MO-97A, the hybrid model installed with stepping motor enables speed control as well as greater driving precision, which are impossible to be performed by manual model. As a merit of the hydraulic part that requires no electricity, the hydraulic-tubing line keeps some distance from the motor to the animal's head, so that sound or noise from the motor is suppressed during the experiment. Operational setting for drive is easy to do, which is completed by entering speed directly, or entering distance and time. The range of drive speed is set as 0.1um/s to 500um/s. The speed can be changed on the way to the target, so you can make the electrode closer to the target with a faster speed, and then change it to a slower speed as final small-step approach. The chamber is an open-type that is designed to accommodate multiple drive units and use with grid.
* Distance between the control unit and motor unit can be extended from original 2.9m(9.5ft) in total to 7m(28.2ft) by MD-DCE-7 (sold separately). * Palm-sized compact controller MD-OH-1 (sold separately) is also available. * Grid for the open chamber is available by customized order.

MHW-103:
$6,486.49
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
Narishige's MHW-103 is a liquid hydraulic micromanipulators developed for patch clamping generally use the 1:5 cartridge system to solve the problem of drifting. It has a wide driving range while keeping drift to a minimum. Since this can limit their driving range to as little as 2mm, customers who want a wide driving range are recommended to choose this product, which uses a 1:1 cartridge. The drum type control unit has a large handle for precise operation and high linear repeatability. The water hydraulic system is less prone to drift caused by changes in temperature than an oil hydraulic system, and is thus more suitable for patch clamping. A coarse manipulator is not mounted, so one must be purchased separately.
*For attachment to the microscope, a coarse manipulator and suitable adaptor are required (sold separately). *Select Type B adaptor for mounting this manipulator in combination with MMN-1 coarse manipulator.

Top Features:
Easy setup: no cumbersome brackets to fiddle around with; just place the sturdy magnetic micromanipulator onto your microscope stage and start injecting! The NanoControl box and Joypad/Joystick/Cube sit next to the microscope for easy access and ergonomic ease.
Virtually impervious to vibration
Very low drift (1 nm/min) (yes, that is 1 nanometer!)
Sub-nanometer resolution (0.25nm)
Extensive working range (100cm3)
Integrated coarse and fine movement in one unit
High operating velocity (up to 10mm/sec!)
The Kleindiek Nanotechnik MM3A Micromanipulator is a convenient, amazingly precise, and effective solution for patch clamp experiments, in-vitro fertilization (IVF / ICSI), transgenic construction, embryo manipulation, chromosomal dissection, and any types of work that require ultra-precise movement control. It features the ability to move very quickly to the desired location, while maintaining a precision of less than a nanometer! This is over 20 times more precise than any of the Narishige micromanipulators that we offer, and over 40 times more precise than Eppendorf TransferMan® NK 2, InjectMan® NI 2 and PatchMan® systems. If you want incredible precision and stability without sacrificing your working range and operating velocity, this is the micro-manipulator for you!
The MM3A can be maneuvered very easily in all axes using the joystick control. This ergonomic intuitive user interface combined with a wide range of movement speeds makes the Kleindiek Nanotechnik MM3A ideal for microinjection and micro-dissection.
The MM3A is also ideal for patch clamp experiments in the neurobiology lab. It is literally the best micromanipulator for electrophysiology because it is easy to maneuver quickly into place, offers nanometer-level precision when making the fine adjustments to contact the neuron's cell membrane, and yields a stable signal throughout the experiment because it has virtually no drift (unlike fine hydraulic micromanipulators that drift in response to subtle temperature changes).
Below is a diagram of how the controls of the MM3A work. The NanoController and the Joypad (top two devices shown in the diagram) are included with the MM3A. Under the standard factory settings, the buttons on the joypad are used to move in coarse mode. The two joysticks can control in either fine or coarse mode depending on your speed selection. Additionally, you can set a home / park position that the micromanipulator can move quickly to and from when performing multiple injections.
For easier high-precision control (such as positioning a patch clamp pipette), we recommend the Cube, a manual control device with three high-resolution vernier dials (bottom device shown on the diagram). It gives you highly responsive, intuitive, linear movement control. It connects directly to the NanoControl control electronics in addition to your choice of joystick.
The course movement range is several centimeters and, once near your target, the standard fine working range of the MM3A is 20 µm. If you want a larger fine mode working range, add the Booster option. This module for the NanoControl control electronics doubles the fine mode working range.

The surfaces of both the sliding needle positioner and glide base are greased, and held together by a powerful, adjustable magnet capable of pulling with over 100 pounds of force.
The glide base is a 4" solid steel cube that weighs 20 pounds. Its mass and no-slip elastomeric feet help to dampen vibrations. X-Y control in the 10 micron range is accomplished either by pushing the sliding needle positioner directly with your hand, or via threaded push bolts. Z control is accomplished using a fine threaded adjustment knob. Over 3 cm of X and Y movement and over 1 cm of Z movement are possible.
The verstile needle positioning stand can be user-configured in a variety of ways to hold your needle at the height and angle you prefer. And, what goes between the Tritech Research microINJECTOR™ and microMAGNIPULATOR (or anybody else's microinjection/micromanipulation system, for that matter)? You need a high-quality Straight-arm Needle Holder to couple the pressure to your glass capillary needle, and the needle to the micromanipulator. Now you don't have to pay $150 for Leitz-style compression fitting Needle Holders, because you can get our solid brass, silicone rubber compression fitting Needle Holder!

FAQ's
Q: What is the main advantage of the MMO-4 hydraulic micromanipulator over the MN-151 mechanical micro manipulator?
A: With a mechanical micromanipulator like the MN-151, the user touches the actual micromanipulator to move the joystick. This can introduce some vibration and some torque during movement. With a hydraulic micromanipulator like the MMO-4, the joystick is separated from the micromanipulator by the hydraulic tubes, so the user doesn't touch it, and so the movement is smooth and well isolated.

Narishige's MN-151 is a lightweight, 3-axis mechanical micromanipulator which has coarse movements in the X, Y, and Z directions. In addition to the 3 coarse axes of movement, the MN-151 also incorporates fine, joystick-controlled movements in the X-Y plane. A knob with 5 um gradations provides fine mechanical movement in the Z axis. The MN-151 is very versatile, and can be mounted in a variety of orientations on both the left and right sides of a microscope stage. It can be used to manipulate the primary needle holder in applications such as Drosophila, C. elegans, Xenopus, and Zebrafish microinjection. It also can be used in other applications such as mammalian oocyte microinjection, where it can be used as a versatile holding-pipette manipulator and for Yeast Tetrad microdissection. *Please note that the P-1A Height Adjustment Plate (not included) is required to attach the MN-151 to Narishige's bracket systems. A needle holder, such as our MINJ-4, Narishige's HI-7, H-7 or HI-9, also needs to be purchased separately.

FAQ's
Q: What are the main differences between the MN-151 and MN-153 micro manipulators?
A: MN-153 and MN-151 both have 3-axis course movement. MN-153 has an additional fine movement in the X-axis (the direction toward the sample) and no fine movement in Y or Z. MN-151 has an additional fine movement in the Z-axis (lowering down to the same plane as the sample) plus it has the joystick for fine, coordinated movement in X and Y. If you move the joystick left and right, the needle moves towards and away from the sample, respectively. If you move the joystick toward you or away from your, the needle moves toward you and away from you in the Y axis, respectively. The MN-151 makes it easier to line up the needle before injection. However, the biggest advantage is that the needle moves at a speed proportional to the speed you move the joystick, so it is easier to make the needle pierce the eggs.
Q: What are the types of mounting adapter needed to attach the MN-151 to the scope? Does the mounting adaptor attach below or behind the stage?
A: The NZ-19-2 mounts on the illumination pillar, not onto the stage. This makes it really easy to change samples, because on your scope, you can set it so that you can tilt the pillar toward the back, which will cause the micromanipulator to lift up and out of the way. The NZ-19-2 goes out to the side, NR2 goes up, and the MN-151 includes a P-1A bracket to come back toward you with a bar to mount the micromanipulator.

MO-95:
$4,972.97
†
- Special Order
Narishige's MO-95 is a remote-controlled oil-hydraulic micromanipulator for chronic experiments on the skulls of middle size animals, mainly monkeys. Employment of the oil hydraulic system enables microelectrodes to be inserted by remote control, without vibration. The chamber method is used, so that slight movements by the subject animal will not dislodge the microelectrode, while attachment/ detachment can be done freely. The acrylic XY stage makes it easy to position the microelectrodes with great accuracy while visually confirming their location. Microelectrodes ranging from 0.3 to 2mm can be used, by adjusting the positions of the packing and the microelectrodes themselves. Since this model uses the microelectrode expose method, any kind of microelectrode can be used. When the chain bar is filled with Ringer's solution, brain activity stops and long time recording becomes possible.

The Narishige TAKANOME MTK-1 4-axis Hanging Joystick Oil Hydraulic Micromanipulator system is a next generation state-of-the-art micromanipulator for laboratory microinjection experiments and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedures. In Japanese, TAKANOME is a metaphor equating this system with a hawk setting its sight on its prey and swooping down precisely, which is exactly what the MTK-1 does. Utilizing improved technology to create elegant simplicity, this advanced system has been especially developed to improve the efficiency of transgenic experiments, IVF, and all procedures involving microinjection of cell suspension cultures.
With a large retraction range of 50mm, the MTK-1 fulfills multiple functions a in single unit, eliminating the need for a separate coarse manipulator. Additionally, this robust micromanipulator includes a innovative design that allows the user to change the pipette angle while keeping the needle tip in the center of the field of view, making angle adjustment a breeze! You can easily switch the pipette from its "home" position to its "working" position, resulting in a significant reduction in the probability of pipette breakage and you will save time by not having to re-position your injection holder each time you change pipettes. With the Narishige MTK-1, you can look forward to a more efficient, precise, and far less painstaking laboratory experience!

Three-Axis Coarse Mechanical Micromanipulator with Fine Water Hydraulic Z-Axis Control. Ideal for experiments under low magnification
MWS-31:
$5,135.14
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
Narishige's MWS-31 is a one-axis water hydraulic micromanipulator combined with a three-dimensional manual coarse manipulator for patch clamping applications under low magnifications, such as when using a stereo microscope. Even at low magnifications, vibration is a critical problem, so a large and rigid manual manipulator is used to prevent it. The rotation mechanism makes exchanging pipettes easier, and the water hydraulic 1:5 cartridge system enables more stable and precise operation. An angle adjustment mechanism is equipped on the fine movement section so that an angle can be added for the fine movement section only, while coarse section retains its vertical position. This allows the manipulator angle to be changed between horizontal and vertical while the manipulator itself remains firmly fixed in position.

Independently usable one-axis water hydraulic micromanipulator for stereomicroscopes (Magnetic Mount)
MWS-32:
$5,459.46
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
Narishige's MWS-32 combines a magnetic stand with the MWS-31, so that it can be used independently. Direct attachment to the magnetic stand provides enhanced stability required for applications with stereo microscopes. Like MWS-31, MWS-32 also has a water hydraulic 1:5 cartridge system, angle adjustment mechanism for firm fixing, and a rigid manual coarse manipulator. A unique feature of MWS-32 is that the manipulator is fixed directly to a rigid magnetic stand, thereby making the vertical adjustments more stable. This integration of the magnetic stand allows independent use in a variety of applications by freeing the manipulator from a stereomicroscope.

Direct-Drive Micromanipulators
Three-Axis Coarse/Fine Manual Micromanipulator
NMN-21:
$4,108.11
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
Narishige's NMN-21 is a manually operated micromanipulator which minimizes jitter for simplicity and high performance.
Drift and electromagnetic disturbance are critical problems in patch clamping work. This mechanical micromanipulator was developed specifically for patch clamping: it does not employ a liquid hydraulic system (which is prone to drift due to temperature changes), has no springs (a common cause of mechanical drift), nor a motor (which can be a source of electrical noise). Its body is designed to absorb vibrations, so that even at high magnifications, problems of jittering are virtually non-existant. The NMN-21 is based on a drum type design and utilizes a pair of independent sliders that serve to isolate vibrations. In addition, vibrations are often caused by the operator handling the control knob, which is usually connected to a slider. To overcome this problem, the control knob of the NMN-21 is fixed independently and separate from the slider. High mass and a low center of gravity provide exceptionally steady and stable performance. The overall design is compact, so installation requires a minimum of space. With coarse and fine manipulators integrated into the compact body, this model handles a full range of required motions, from moving a microelectrode into the microscope field of view to making delicate contact with cells.
* Can be mounted directly on an optical bench-type isolation table * Can be firmly fixed to any part of a steel isolation table with the NMN-C magnetic stand (sold separately) * Can be mounted directly to microscopes via suitable adapters (sold separately) * AP-14/AP-13-3 patch clamp headstage holders can be attached via the integrated UST-2 solid universal joint
Setting Example The first photo shows a mounting adapter setting example. The second photo shows the setting example with the ITS2-N/ ITS2-O/ ITS2-Z/ ITS2-L (Microscope Isolation Systems) plus NR-12 (Rotating Micromanipulator Clamp) plus NMN-21.

Narishige's NMN-25 packs similar features to those of the NMN-21 into a thinner drive unit to facilitate multi-channel recording. The placement of all three axes' control knobs in one plane instead of three, and the adoption of a simpler holder fixing block, enables several manipulators to be installed and operated close together without interfering with each other. Installation on an isolation table makes use of multiple manipulators straightforward. Like the NMN-21, which was developed specially for patch clamping, this mechanical manipulator integrates coarse and fine movements, and employs a body design which absorbs vibrations. As a result, operation is precise, stable, and free from concerns about drift and electromagnetic disturbance.
*For attachment directly to a microscope, a suitable adaptor is required (sold separately). *The micromanipulator can be mounted directly on the isolation table, or for quickly changing samples or electrodes, use the NMN-25A dedicated slider base for NMN-25. *AP-13-3/AP-14 patch clamp headstage holders can be attached to this unit (sold separately).

Kleindiek Ultra-precise Lift-Out Shuttle
SY-LOS:
$58,372.97
†
- Approx. 30 days
The Lift-Out Shuttle is a super-fast, dedicated lift-out solution for preparing samples for ex-situ electron microscopy. It features a microgripper, a four-axis substage, and a small CCD camera at surface level that allows for fast approach.
The system is comprised of a four-axis substage mounted on an ultra-compact platform. A microgripper is mounted above the substage to facilitate the lift-out. The stage is manipulated to position the pre-cut sample under the microgripper. After that, the microgripper clamps onto the sample and holds it gently, but firmly enough that the sample can be freed from the bulk material by simply dropping the stage down and out of the way. Once isolated, the sample is brought in contact with SEM-compatible glue on a TEM grid, and cured with an ion beam.
To see a video of this process in action, please follow the link to Kleindiek's website: http://www.nanotechnik.com/lift-out-shuttle.html
The system includes control electronics, a joypad, a microgripper, and an operator's handbook.
